    @Qwik can we get a fix for the Xbox achievement disconnect on Overwatch 2 please? It's such a kick in The ***** to finally get into a game just to be sent to the back of the line.

  • Meme_Muffin ****** man (@Meme_Muffin) reported

    @rookertar Fuckign tired of these hackers in overwatch. I’ve only played 2 games but these hackers can get it whenever they want. Fix it blizzard, better anti cheat now😡

  • Hanaeartist Hanae 🌸 (@Hanaeartist) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent @PlayOverwatch ALL of my stats and cosmetics from the first Overwatch are gone despite claiming they would carry over, it’s like a completely new account. Not to mention the server issues 💀 #Overwatch2 #blizzardservers #BlizzardEntertainment

  • Skullgirlsfreak Scaryboi28 (@Skullgirlsfreak) reported

    Besides the server issues,overwatch 2 is really ******* fun

  • SenseOrdinary Ordinary Sense (@SenseOrdinary) reported

    @TrueGameData @ModernWarzone the problem is.. everyone left overwatch 1. I grinded it for a while and will probably play a bit of OW2... but only because its free. i would not buy it. I would have bought warzone though, or even fortnight back at the start. OW2 hasn't sold me on anything. Wish it Luck though

  • SeraphielLux Seraph (@SeraphielLux) reported

    @AmethystMay_YT I think that overwatch is just suffering connection issues atm. Its got the same gameplay mechanics that made the first one good so I can’t really say it failed. Personally speaking ofcourse.

  • PurpleLover85 80s SynthwaveLover Pat💙🎸🎶 (@PurpleLover85) reported

    @OverwatchNaeri Overwatch 2 is lagging as Overwatch 1 didnt Overwatch 1 had loot boxes Overwatch 2 has a grindy BP also the unexpeted server Error so not the best game there is dont know if my pc is too weak i am returning too starcraft 2

  • IloLami_xx ilo lami (@IloLami_xx) reported

    My overwatch two take so far: Its overwatch one but both teams had a tank disconnect and they are just chaotically trying to win without much team play. Its new and so i imagine the game over the next months will get more stable in how people play. But right now it’s just that.

  • BruhKept KeptYouWaitingBruh (@BruhKept) reported

    @PlayOverwatch 4th attempt trying to play this game. Can't get past the sign in screen. Pathetic. Let me play Overwatch 1

  • droidpylot Droidpylot (@droidpylot) reported

    Different Version Error Overwatch 2 Error Fix. Remove the friend. They'll now show up in recent players, invite them. re-add them as a friend from same place. If you haven't played with them before, make a custom game and they can search / join it from there. #ow2 #overwatch2

  • GamingLemon16 GamingLemon (@GamingLemon16) reported

    @PlayOverwatch I would say to people give it a week and the player count will drop dramatically anyway so ques will no longer be a problem, anyway if you played overwatch 1 it’s the same game still so I wouldn’t get your hopes up👍

  • BlueGlare8 Blue Glare (@BlueGlare8) reported

    I just gave up trying to get into Overwatch 2 and decided to play some DBZFZ. Blizzard has gotta fix this asap

  • MsGoreAmore MsGoreAmoreTTV | Rise (@MsGoreAmore) reported

  • vinofthemist Vinofthemist (@vinofthemist) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent when I finally got logged in my career profile was gone on overwatch 2. Not seeing this in "known issues" (I'm on PlayStation 4). I've been playing since first game release.

  • AxlPif GASPER (@AxlPif) reported

    Downloaded Overwatch 2 on my Switch. Haven’t tried out out yet though. When I’m home - already seeing some funny server issues but that’s basic stuff for a new FTP game.

  • W1ll_OW w1LL (@W1ll_OW) reported

    @emarasuOW Close bnet completely log in and out then under the regions in overwatch in bnet just choose asia then spam the cancel button and login from there

  • tenkuken2 Masakit (@tenkuken2) reported

    @gundamevolution You need to fix this game guys like the monetization and capitol Overwatch is shooting themselves in the foot right now

  • Will_Is_Harvey Harvey Birdman (@Will_Is_Harvey) reported

    I don't even like overwatch. Never played. But I'm about to play overwatch 2 just to spite the poors who can't afford phone service

  • Seclusionz_ Mr. Fly (@Seclusionz_) reported

    Fix the account merge glitch. I want my characters #Overwatch #Overwatch2 @PlayOverwatch

  • Nashfyrel Fyrel (@Nashfyrel) reported

    @DigiFoxMira You mean : Overwatch 2, faking being DDOS. Didn't prepared migration while it's just an update. Can't even list people with OW1 so they have to unlock heroes. Now a F2P monetisation while removing the free lootboxes from OW1, aka removing content for old players?

  • bigjimmyshorts jimmy james (@bigjimmyshorts) reported

    cant believe they ****** up overwatch 2 so bad its got a glitch where i cant aim at all i keep missing its nuts

  • RaheemRamez Raheem ラヒーム (@RaheemRamez) reported

    I don’t even like or intend to play Overwatch but having a phone has been standard since like 1940. If you’re so poor that you can’t afford a phone you clearly have bigger issues than worrying about Overwatch and should probably save your money for food or something

  • JasnoCreed Jason (@JasnoCreed) reported

    @GLYTCHEnergy The Overwatch “Rendering Device Lost” error is likely occurring due to overclocked GPU, CPU, or other hardware components. If that is the case, you should try setting your components' frequency or clock speed settings back to their defaults and then start Overwatch again to see i

  • TheSwiftMeep Taylor (@TheSwiftMeep) reported

    @Prince_Royal98 @Gaming4UIsNeat @aaronkellerOW Obviously they do, but 450 years of grind is not remotely fair. I have no issue with battlepasses, I have no issue with adding things to buy. I do have an issue, when you clearly cannot earn everything, for a game that's practically just an update to overwatch 1.

  • probirding (@probirding) reported

    @SuperRADLemon considering everytime in overwatch 1 a new hero was released or major update there was a "ddos" attack. i think they just suck at keeping servers up

  • ccdd1014 DD (@ccdd1014) reported

    @kongu992 @OhNoItsAlexx No. That's overwatch 1 mentally, in overwatch 2 doing well is enough, if you suck that's your problem... Not missing one character.
